Mobs of pro-military thugs with sticks, knives, and slingshots attacked anti-coup protesters at a popular rally site in Myanmar’s largest city on Thursday, injuring at least 20 people after being unleashed on demonstrators, the protesters said.
Attacking after police removed street barriers erected to stifle anti-coup protests, junta supporters stabbed and beat a man and injured others amid an attack on anti-regime protesters near the Sule Shangri-La Hotel on Sule Pagoda Road, a center of the rallies held during the 25 days since the military takeover.
The pro-military mob that flooded into the area attacked a man who walked in front of them carrying a photo of deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, hitting him on the head from behind.
